Checking the intensity of shuffle of an array - JavaScript
An array of numbers is 100% shuffled if no two consecutive numbers appear together in the array (we only consider the ascending order case here). And it is 0% shuffled if pairs are of consecutive numbers.
For an array of length n there will be n-1 pairs of elements (without distorting its order).
We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in an array of numbers and returns a number between [0, 100] representing the intensity of shuffle in the array
Example
Following is the code −
const arr = [4, 23, 1, 23, 35, 78, 4, 45, 7, 34, 7];
// this function calculates deviation from ascending sort
const shuffleIntensity = arr => {
let inCorrectPairs = 0;
if(arr.length <= 1){
return 0;
};
for(let i = 0; i < arr.length - 1; i++){
if(arr[i] - arr[i+1] <= 0){
continue;
};
inCorrectPairs++;
};
return (inCorrectPairs / (arr.length -1)) * 100;
};
console.log(shuffleIntensity(arr));Output
Following is the output in the console −
40
It means that 40% chunk of this array is shuffled.
